The night before Halloween

All Hallows’ Eve’s Eve … everything’s wet and dour … I’d love it if only I didn’t have to work. My back feels like it was trodden upon by elephants. I don’t know why. It can’t only be due to my tremendous fat.

In a few minutes, Karin & I will go to an appointment with Karin’s mom’s family. Its purpose is for us to plan our Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve been doing my bit, calling the Chinese restaurants to learn which of them will be open.
